Can anyone recommend a good set of drink coasters?

Okay, so know most of you don't come here to talk about coasters. Most of us have 'em, though; some good, some bad, most in between. Well, I'm tired of crappy coasters that leave moisture on my nice home theater furniture. Can anyone recommend some good coaster brands?

"Thirstystone" coasters are nice. they're made of sandstone that absorbs the moisture. Lots of designs available. They're a little on the expensive side (~$15-$25 for set of four) but they work well and look nice.
My sister and Mom have also made some out of unglazed tile stamped with various designs and, I think, sealed with something that still allows the water to be absorbed but protects the stamp design. They're both Stamin' Up demonstrators. You might see if you know anyone involved in that business.

Get the sandstone ones that @gt0163c recommends. I received a set from a friend as a wedding gift, and they're the best thing you can have. They usually have a felt piece on the bottom to further protect furniture, and absorb condensation, drips, and protect against heat and cold as well. I have multiple sets of coasters, but these are the very best.

I also have some nice tile ones with felt covered "feet" which raise them above the furniture they're meant to protect, and they seem to work well. Those were made by a local artist, but I'm sure they're a common idea.

I use thirstystone at work on my desk. At home I have a 5"x5" wool "saddleblanket" coaster sold at one of the local tourist places. It's very thick hand woven natural wool, so the moisture goes in at the top and doesn't go through to the bottom, keeping the glass drip free and the table dry. It's also attractive and soft, so setting the glass down is silent. It's exactly this one:http://www.saddleblanket.com/store/product536.html

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
